The startup Selectra

2007 : foundation

Selectra was born in 2007 when Xavier Pinon and Aurian Maupeou saw a need for more information about the opportunities following the liberalization of French energy markets. Though still students of the prestigious Sciences Po Paris, the energy and vision of the young entrepreneurs (aged only 19 and 20) won the trust of major energy firms to sell their products.
